The World Ski and Snowboard festival is ever-growing and expanding by the week. The snow sports and entertainment festival, which runs April 12 to 21, has just announced Multiplicity, a show sponsored by Mountain Life Magazine and the Spearhead Huts Committee.

The show takes place at 7 p.m. April 14 at the Whistler Conference Centre. Tickets are $20.

The show, a series of presentations from avid outdoorspeople and mountain-sport storytellers, will offer a “multiplicity” so to speak, of mediums, such as photographs, words, multimedia and music, presenters will give audience the vicarious thrill of their sports, skills and adventures.

Nicholas Teichrob will speak about “Taking a Stand against Tankers”, an effort to prevent a tanker route from taking over an important stretch of waters—a move that activists fear would threaten the wilderness in the water and in the forested area of B.C.

Todd Lawson will speak about his and his wife Christina Tottle’s time riding dirtbikes through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, including an incident in which they T-boned a donkey, who hardly noticed, in the presentation “Rough & Tumble Through the Andes.”

Comic Kelly Dyer will present a humourous recollection of her 20-plus years as a climber and snowboarder in a PG-rated talk entitled “Killer Comedy from a Mountain Whoa-Man.”

In “Down the Line and Into the Deep”, Xavier de La Ruydts will discuss all the heretofore secret and unexplored canyons that can be found in the surroundings of Vancouver and Squamish.

Chili Thom offers insight from his experience in the outdoors as both an artist and a former wilderness guide in “Art from Adventure”, and Ace Mackay-Smith will use slides in a houmourous recollection of growing up as a ski bum.
